So your going to cure the rich poor gap by letting the CEO of a company get paid as much as they like, but no one else?
Thats more or less the system we have now


well that would be only the right thing to do

everyone would get the amount of how old they are an hour ...so it would workout ....

everyone would be rich

I think everyone should make an Hour how hold they are and then the older they get the more money they make ...

so if someone is 20 ..they will make 20 dollars an hour

Each time u age ..U get 1 dollar added an hour

By the time someone is 100 . it would be 100 dollars an hour

with this system . everyone is granted to be wealthy or rich . as long as u live long time . u get payed more and more


OK, I'll bite. Who is paying the wage?

I have to say that this is one of the most ridiculous posts I've ever read but I guess we all have keyboards and opinions so can post whatever we wish.

The money would come from the 21st centery acomony that would be built on work that never stops . if everyone works and is happy about getting payed more each time they get old . then people would make jobs all over

you can not build a system based on how far someone betters thereself

A perfect system is based on age ...the older u get ...the more money u will have

I have two questions for you.

1. How old are you?

2. Is English your native language?

Economy doesn't work like that.

It's really not feasible.

The first flaw is that experience will be penalized because it costs more.

I don't know if you are aware of it but that is a major problem in the economy that exists today. People with experience are downsized and let go because of the fact that they earn more.

Your plan would just mean that people wouldn't be able to keep a job long enough to retire.

It would guarantee universal poverty after a median age.

Don't get me wrong.
I'm not dumping on your idea. I'm just pointing out that this method is too arbitrary and doesn't take enough variables into account..

History will show that most any course of action based on a universal or arbitrary standard usually fails.

Keep on coming up with ideas. The best ones happen after a hell of a lot of ideas that didn't work out.

Regards.

You are 21, know American made English and figure spelling and being smart are not related/relevant to how much money an individual makes?

Did I misinterpret you? I want to be certain I understand your position.

Sounds ok on paper.
What about the poor kid who just solved the puzzle of anti-gravity.
The thirty somethings own his A$$.
How about you deserve what you earn.

What about giving everyone their basic needs (food, shelter, medical care) for free.
These needs can be covered by making a schedule where everyone works for a couple of hours a week.
For the rest everyone can do whatever they like.
I think a group of people living together could implement such a structure quite easily.

Capitalism serves only the elite. I like this plan.

Capitalism works just fine for those who work and those who risk by starting new businesses. Not for the lazy who go home, drink, take drugs or play video games all the time.

Poverty is the reward you receive when you fail to succeed in society.

In a hundred years, when the average person earns $1,000,000 per year, those lazy people will still get $0 so the spread between the poor and everyone else is always increasing.


Wow. You've swallowed the story hook line and sinker.

Capitalism is predatory and exploitative - it keeps two thirds of the world in poverty so that the rest can live off their suffering. Capitalism needs wars to keep the money coming in. But perhaps that's ok with you.

Personally, I would like to thrwo away the whole paradigm and replace it with a new one. Without these predators in charge of the world there would be enough for everyone and more.
